“we see unanswered prayer, Jesus saw answered prayer. Where we see the absence of God, Jesus saw the plan of God.
Note especially Matthew 26:53: “Surely you know I could ask my Father, and he would give me more than twelve armies of angels” (NCV).
Of all the treasures Jesus saw in the trash, this is most significant. He saw his Father. He saw his Father’s presence in the problem. Twelve armies of angels were within his sight.
Sure, Max, but Jesus was God. He could see the unseen. He had eyes for heaven and a vision for the supernatural. I can’t see the way he saw.
Not yet maybe, but don’t underestimate God’s power. He can change the way you look at life.”
